I need some motherfuckin' peace of mind I need a piece of land Piece a mine I need a piece of the pie Before it all divide They devise in they suits and ties Who am I to criticize I want that penthouse view and a whip that fly Only natural they want what's mine I gotta save the southside mama I been tryna stay alive mama But I never can escape my mind 4-14 this my life Blow mo' green Miss my life Young woman coulda' been my wife But every ship gon' sail one night Pockets low but they raise that price Smoke a L to forget our strife Spit the truth when I groove on mics Thanks to who when the hood get nice Introduce you then you gon' swipe Shit cold but we born on ice So I'ma slide when the gold gripped tight I'ma ride like the road ain't striped I'ma die southside for life You ain't feel what I felt them nights You ain't feel when I wept them nights Guns pulled on the playground The boys here don't play nice pussy Neighborhoods change like the streetlights Your favorite hoods ain't what they seem like And now they have the green light X your childhood like its a delight Neighborhoods change like the streetlights Your favorite hoods ain't what they seem like And now they have the green light X your childhood like its a delight You ever have the best intentions But your action's effect was not intended And now you lackin' self respect though you never meant it Fresh as coins newly minted I was newly wicked Spent with leeches new evictions I know some dudes and women Who'd be truly livid If they knew I'd given Cash flow to the system but I must admit it Super rich pricks Stackin' building bricks, militant Meanwhile, outsourcing the populace, pillaging Superman metropolis visions Thumb twiddlin' while Tribes dying to thrive in outside villages Got they whole home base stolen like line drive The city memories fade out in the twilight Transplants blind with vision for the night life Bills stackin' so the children get a nine five Droppin' bombs, left a chasm Bleedin' OGs They don't know me from Adam Walkin' up those streets Hide in plain sight Marley Marl it up on cold beats Uchiha pattern weavin' Save our homes like they the hidden leaf Neighborhoods change like the streetlights Your favorite hoods ain't what they seem like And now they have the green light X your childhood like its a delight Neighborhoods change like the streetlights Your favorite hoods ain't what they seem like And now they have the green light X your childhood like its a delight Watching neighborhoods turn to ghost towns Only seeing sunshine Peeking through the smoke clouds But even small beams could light the way Commemorate the past before it's permanently wiped away 'Cause the minute that you catch Those out of towner license plates Mom and pops close shop Watching as the price inflate But they were never lives to save Passing by saying hi And the whole vibe has changed We're losing all the vibrance But I guess it isn't violence When lifers get displaced Just to put up high rises And working for those tyrants Becomes the final price to pay But you can't stay They clutchin' on purses as you pass by Then go online posting how they stand with black lives The irony exhausts us Just a walk around the block Got the cops trying to stop us Frisk us over criminal descriptions A code and profile To match us up by pigments Then wonder why they call you pigs Like you're out to get us With no repercussions If you so happen to kill us It's like they only armed you Just so they could pit us It's funky as the stains on the pictures In the hallways Knocked off the frames In the homes around our way But shit, look At least Karen got her latte And much needed spa day Ayo who am I? Just a man, how a few decide? What really lives and what dies? From behind suits and ties The city that raised me was resilient Held out for a while just like the sun's brilliance Through these crocodile infested waters We all keep swimming It's no Dory These fable makers not Aesop We livin' the whole story Talkin' 'bout Oh, even you can live that life of luxury But, 'nough disgust when witnessing us Fuckin' Money Thieves
